The Bloomingtonian was made aware that the Alpha Delta Pi sorority chapter at IU was placed under quarantine Tuesday, August 26, 2020 due to the coronavirus through a text message from a member. While The Bloomingtonian was waiting for comment from Indiana University and the Alpha Delta Pi chapter, an email was sent confirming the house’s quarantine, along with a list of seven other houses directed to quarantine.
A spokesperson from Alpha Delta Pi’s national office sent The Bloomingtonian the following statement:
“Alpha Delta Pi remains committed to the health, safety, and well-being of our members. We have provided best practices and proper sanitation guidelines from the CDC to all of our facilities and have consistently communicated that all members must abide by campus, local, state, and federal mandates with regard to prevention and mitigation. All chapters will follow the direction of government health and campus authorities when asked to do so.”
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
